Cycle Fault #11
The cassette temperature failed to drop to a floor
condition within a timeout period at the end of
sterilization during venting.
Check for a clogged duct in the left rear of the
cassette tray. Check exhaust tubing (kinked or tightly
coiled). Check solenoid valve for improper
connection, a failed solenoid valve (blown coil) or
plunger sticking.
Cycle Fault #12
This indicates a problem with the temperature
measuring system.
Possible causes are a faulty PCB, a disconnected,
broken or faulty thermocouple.
Cycle Fault #13 - #14
Not used
Cycle Fault #15
The cassette temperature rose above a ceiling
temperature outside the Sterilization phase of a cycle
(during conditioning or pressurizing phase of the
cycle)
Probable causes are a blocked duct in the cassette, a
pinched exhaust tube leading to the waste bottle, or a
faulty solenoid valve.
Cycle Fault #16
The steam generator temperature rose above a
ceiling temperature.
This may be the result of a blocked steam generator
inlet tube, a failed or weak water pump, a failed pump
triac, failed steam generator triac, faulty seal
installation, failed solenoid valve or a contaminated
steam generator
Cycle Fault #17-#24
Not used
Cycle Fault #25
The steam generator failed to heat up to a threshold
temperature within 90 seconds of the start of the
cycle.
The most probable cause is a blown thermal fuse due
to weak pump delivery and/or a contaminated steam
generator, or improperly connected steam generator
leads (loose or unconnected). If the steam generator
triac has failed, the thermal fuse may have also failed.
Verify steam generator resistance (could be failed
open)
Cycle Fault #26
Not used
Cycle Fault #27
The pump failed to cool down the steam generator
bellow a set-point temperature (150°C or 165°C) in a
timeout period (during a “panic pump” condition).
Several conditions may cause this: weak pump
delivery and/or out of water during a cycle, restriction
to the pump inlet tube or a defective water quality
sensor (sensor does not detect insufficient water in
the water reservoir) or a contaminated steam
generator.
